Why Is there Colour Difference On Image in Photoshop vs Saving As A PDF?

[Carly5FF2]

Hi

I am new to Ps but I have discovered that after editing a scanned piece of my art, the printed image colour was vastly different to that shown on my laptop.

However, when I saved it as a PDF, then printed it, the colours were pretty spot on.

I wondered why this would be the case?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

What is the image’s Color Space (please don’t say »RGB« or »CMYK«)? 

What were the print settings when printing it directly? 

What were the pdf settings when creating the pdf and the print settings when printing the pdf?
